Operational Division

The Party People =

REMers who support Community Initiatives by working on an Operational Division Team.

These support teams do those things most teams do to prepare for a party or move a project along. These jobs fit in two categories:

Convening – Preparing spaces for people to gather which often includes cleaning, setting up, managing technology, cooking, and decorating.

Communicating – calling and scheduling meetings, writing press releases, hanging posters, and working with the internet.

Any REM team can ask for assistance from any Operational Division team. The advantages are:

Operational Division team volunteers have chosen to join these teams because they possess skills and interest in that very specific work. They’re good at what they do.

Time is of the essence for volunteers. Having the support of these volunteers who are separate from their project allows them to maintain a concentrated focus on the specific work of their community initiative.
